Create config action which can create an entity for every bundle of another entity type

Problem/Motivation

The addToAllBundles action supported by fields is very, very useful. But it really would be even better if it worked on all config entity types that target a particular bundle.

For example, if I want to add the same set of meta tags to every content type...there's no way to do that dynamically without Metatag adding a custom config action for it. Simple Sitemap works the same way. Another example is making a content type translatable; you need to add a config entity for each bundle to hold the translation settings.

It's a pretty common pattern, but the recipe system has no real support for it.

Proposed resolution

Create a more generic, derived action called createForAllBundles (and a createIfNotExistsForAllBundles) variant.

As with the existing permissions_per_bundle action, this new action's name will vary based on the entity type being targeted. For example, it will have versions called createForEachNodeType and createIfNotExistsForEachTaxonomyVocabulary.

The syntax will look like this:

config:
  actions:
    metatag.metatag_defaults.node__%bundle:
      createForEachNodeType:
        # Some values here

The %bundle token in the config name will be unconditionally replaced by the bundle ID. That will also happen recursively in whatever values are passed to the action. (This is the same token used by the permissions_per_bundle action.)

    This is very helpful and needed config action.

    For my use case, the module provides a new form mode that should be added to all node types, as this form mode is used for a new route that the module provides. It has to be added to all bundles.

    With help of config action createForEachNodeType and %bundle placeholder I was able to accomplish this task while testing MR.

    I am not yet changing the status of the issue, but with current state of MR it is possible to create config entities for each bundle of entity type.

    Thank you for a handy feature!

    A little premature for Needs review. I know @phenaproxima wants to work on this more.
